Shiny Pokémon are rare versions of Pokémon in Pokémon Go that have modified looks. They are called shiny because they generally add a slight sheen or discoloration, making them stand out more than normal. In Diglett’s case, the biggest difference between the normal and shiny versions is that normal Diglett has a pinkish nose and shiny Diglett has a blueish nose.
Shiny Rates
Apart from the Pokémon that don’t have shiny versions in the game, every Pokémon has a base shiny rate that tells you how often you’ll see a shiny version. Although this information isunconfirmedfor Diglett, it is believed to have the standard shiny rate of1 in 500(about 0.20 percent). So, for every 500 Diglett you catch, you’ll probably only get one shiny version.
